Silver Towne Farms would like to invite you and your
family to our 22nd Annual Production Sale. Several
things have changed over the last 25 years breeding
Simmental cattle and the breeders have had to adopt
new strategies, philosophies, and technologies. In
this ever changing industry and environment.
Feed grains, fuel cost and cost of production has
sky rocketed over the past several months and it has
presented new challenges for all of us as producers
and consumers to overcome.
Silver Towne Farms is broad casting its production
sale live for the first time in 2008 as a sign of
the changing technologies and the necessity to
reduce cost to our customers by trying to reduce
travel expense.
STF is looking forward to this new challenge with
cautious optimism. We at STF do not like one side of
this from the view of not having you at our sale
facility to visit and talk about changes in the
industry and our new genetics in our program and
yours. STF continues to strive to earn your trust
and respect by producing and standing behind our
name, reputation, and product.
Thanks for your time, consideration and past support
because without you, our customers none of this
would be possible. Last but not least
congratulations to all the show winners, commercial
producers topping feeder sales and producing tender,
healthy, beef. Far most thanks for all the
friendships generated over the past two and half
decades in this great business.
We hope to see you sale day, September 13, 2008. If
we can be of any help to you in making arrangements
please feel free to give us a call, we would love to
work with you.
Simmentally yours,
Dave, Doug, and our families at STF
